I've got a bunch of free stuff for OSE, including a number of hexes with mini-dungeons and encounter locations.

I have a couple random bandit/orc/thug encounters that I can drop about anywhere to use when things slow down. I try to keep them for the level and just add more monsters if the PCs become too powerful, so now they fight 50 bandits instead of just 6.

The old Book of Lairs (I and II) are great for this. Cheap too (in PDF).

L1 Secret of Bonehill: the keep and dungeon at bone hill can easily be dropped in a sandbox as its very self contained.

UK2 The Sentinel: Has 3 locations that you can scatter on a map; bandit camp , ruined villa, druid cave, that player can find or explore. No need to include the macguffin hunt as a pretext.

Thank you! These are very useful.

I only have Knock #1. It's got a good one, "Praise the Fallen", in the back. Lots of gold, a fun little cult. I don't think there are many others though. It isn't worth picking up for the mods, but worth it as a general resource.

I've run this one three times. Once converted to 5E in an ongoing campaign, twice in B/X with some house rules, one of those a convention game. Lots of fun.

Edit: just noticed the OSR tag. Disregard

Lazy Litch has multiple products that are intended to be hexes to drop into settings.

Woodfall, Willow, Haunted Hamlet and the Toxic Wood are each good mini-settings meant to be added to whatever you're already doing.
